The Substance – Albert Hofmann’s LSD

By coincidence rather then by design, the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann makes a sensational discovery in the spring of 1943. He realizes that he is dealing with a powerful molecule that will have an impact not only on the scientific world, but beyond. The Substance is an investigation into our troubled relation with LSD, told from its beginnings until today.
